This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Strange Maya rendering problem
I'm having a strange problem with Maya2012:
I have two 600 animations. They have identical animation and render settings. (24fps, 1024x768)
>24fps set via the Animation Preferences
>resolution set via render settings, also set to render only from frame 1 to 600 on both
and yet... one comes out at 500Mb, lasting 20 seconds
the other one lasts 33 seconds, but essentially stops at the 20 second mark, with the last 13 seconds being the same frame.
basically: both are weird. File info marks their FPS at 29.
I have no clue what's wrong.
Also I'm a bit of a maya nublet (its been 3 years since I last worked with it) but I know enough to tell that this ain't right
Suggestions?

I'm guessing that there's some fps setting that I might not have set right - but I have no idea what I'm missing

just curious but if you have two animations that are the same with the same render settings, why render it twice?

but ok, I guess that might be necessary
Never tried piecing animation together like that. Any good programs of it you can suggest?

Also, it's really recommended that you render out image sequences instead of an avi because if for some reason the rendering gets interrupted or something goes wrong, you have to start over, plus the huge file sizes.
